I need help proving $operatorname{Im}(ie^{-2t}(cos(2t)+isin(2t))=e^{-2t}cos(2t)$












1














This is an example from my textbook.



$$operatorname{Im}(ie^{-2t}(cos(2t)+isin(2t))=e^{-2t}cos(2t)$$



I don't understand why the imaginary part of this expression equals $e^{-2t}cos(2t)$



Can anyone clarify this?

          Recall that for a complex number $z=a+ib$, where $a,binmathbb{R}$, the number $a$ is said to be the real part and $b$ the imaginary part. In your case,
          $$ ie^{-2t}(cos(2t)+isin(2t)) = ie^{-2t}cos(2t) + i^2e^{-2t}sin(2t) = underbrace{-e^{-2t}sin(2t)}_{text{real part}}+icdotunderbrace{e^{-2t}cos(2t)}_{text{imaginary part}}. $$
